In the matter of appreciation, and
its expression, our people are some
what odd. Some of them say /" oh
yes," those high toned arias and airs
are well enough, but for my part I'd
like to hear something we all knows
like Yankee Doodle and the girl left
behind me-" Such is the taste of the
fruit that ripens in town which the
Opera never reaches.

Boulanger's March is marching on
into the good graces of popular opin-
ion, with rapid strides; the sales are
immense. Boulanger and his march
are exiles but that fact is only the

years from now. If they could pre-
serve some of their music in a talking
machine, and roll it out after aW lille,
it would likewise make hale sort of
Renaissance. Their concert at
Mont Alto comes little too soon for

amount of brOomS in such way as to
store them in the least possible space,

using, holds one hundred brooms and
fills no more space that small tea
